Multiple Simultaneous Shared Parameter Entry

Multiple Simultaneous Shared Parameter Entry

I often import manufacturer equipment into my model that I need to add shared parameters to. I have a built-out shared-parameter table/list for each kind of equipment (usually around 10-15 parameters long). Every time I need to add a bunch of shared parameters it can take a little while. It would be cool to be able to add multiple shared parameters in one go, and have some kind of table with checkboxes to select what category the shared parameter belongs to and whether it's a type or instance kind of parameter.

 

Edit: grammar

@ian_vangiesen25  - Have you had a chance to try Autodesk Parameters Service? With the Parameters Service you can manage all your Shared Parameters within ACC and load into Revit. This enables you to no longer rely on the .txt files for Shared Parameters so you can manage all your Shared Parameters in the web. Additionally in Revit, you can update, and load the parameters into your templates, families, or models - this can even happed in bulk.

Would be useful to have the ability to batch add one or more parameters from .txt to families as shared parameters.

Adding shared parameters you should be able to select all and add to a family at one time. Instead of having to add each one individually.

Can't agree more to this.

Have been using DiRoots paramanager for this, but it really should be basic Revit quality of life usability.

At the very least you should be able to easily import and export to/from .csv.
